How does $10,000 sound to take the edge off the bitterness that can develop
from reflecting on three years of camping out at the law school library, paying
a six-figure sum in fees, and missing major events of family and friends?

Well, that's what the non-profit organization Access Group is attempting to
do with its video scholarship contest hosted on YouTube. And now you can click in to the action
of deciding the winner. Voting is on now and continues for just a couple more
days, with virtual polls closing on August 21st.

What's it all about?

It's called "My
Inspiration" video contest and features entries from U.S.
students attending law school or LLM programs. Employing humor, emotion, and
wit the videos highlight, in fact and fiction, what drew contestants to law
school.

Besides the top prize of a $10k scholarship, to be awarded to the entry with
the most votes, up to five $1500 prizes are slotted to be distributed for
honorable mentions. In its sophomore year, Access Group received over 100
submissions.

So vote away as you reminisce, experience, or plan for your days as an
"L".
